The most fun of it I've ever had, yeah, like just like rock climbing in Zion with my friends who were also at Gateway.

I like look back at that and I really just like think like that was like pure fun and the pure and podcast. I'm your host, Mason. And just as a quick

warning, this show does talk about substance abuse and drug
